Let's give credit where credit is due! Please nominate any player who "Did his job" on the field extremely well this week.
This award will not be given out solely on stats, although consideration will certainly be given to athletes who were "in the zone," as indicated by exceptional statistics. I am also looking for the athlete who does the "little things" right, displays leadership, and/or overcomes adversity -- whether from self, opponents, umpires, teammates, fans, bad luck, or whatever. Please reply with your nominations on here or through my website with details about the outstanding performances, stating the player's name, his school (with City and State), the final score of the game, and any details that strengthen the nomination.
I will select the winner every Monday, and will send that player, via his coach at school, a framed Certificate of Achievement, a free copy of one of the preview booklets (Approach, Focus, or Attitude) of my book, Finding Your Peak Performance with Mental Skills Training, a coupon for this book at cost, and a framed poem titled "Do You Want to Be a Champion." This poem is posted on my website, CoachTraub.com, and is extremely popular with players I share it with. This award is UIL compliant. I will also include a note explaining how he won (what the award is and who nominated him).
Congratulations to last week's winners:
Zach Walker from Jesuit (pitched a perfect game in first District start) and Brendan Alvay from Keller Fossil Ridge (4-4 w/ 2HR and 7RBIs vs. Saginaw).
